How are we already done with Season 5 of Game of Thrones? It feels like I just posted one of the trailers for the upcoming season. And yet ten weeks have passed and another amazing season of Game of Thrones is in the books. I don't even want to think about the fact that it will be almost a year until we get more Game of Thrones. Season 5 has now officially caught up with the first five books in The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin. So unless GRRM can get his sixth book out before Season 6, next year will be the first season I won't know what to expect. 

At times it's really hard for me to believe my good fortune. I grew up drooling over E3. As a huge fan of video games E3 is known as a video games fan week long Christmas. It's the show where all the big developers and publishers come out and show off what games that have coming the upcoming holiday season and beyond. I've been fortunate enough to get invited to go the E3 press conferences for the past four years or so. This year we decided to go a little bigger for E3 and actually stay down in Los Angeles for the event. 

Nostalgia is one of the most powerful emotions. There are countless things to be nostalgic about. The city you grow up in. The music you listened to in your youth. The clothes you wore or the movies you watched. Recently Jenn and I went to Disneyland and saw Jurassic World the fourth movie in the Jurassic Park franchise.  And although I didn't expect it, it was a really great trip down memory lane. 

At church this past weekend one of the youth pastors made a joke about starting a show on Netflix and then realizing a couple of hours had past let alone a whole day. We've definitely done that with shows like Lost, House of Cards, and Orange is the New Black. On a recent Friday night Jenn and I were watching some trailers on YouTube and a couple of hours later we finished watched our 30th "Honest Trailer". 

Every year for Amy's birthday, Jenn and Ally join her to go to the Temecula wine country for a few days of R&R. Well I never get invited to that and always feel like I'm missing out. So this past weekend I invited myself along with Jenn (who's always invited) Jake and Amy while Ally was in Cancun. We met Jake and Amy down in Temecula after going to the 9AM service of church at Mariners over this past Memorial Day weekend.

It's hard to imagine a world without Don Draper in it. For the last eight years I've loved almost every second of watching AMC's hit show Mad Men. Jon Hamm starred as the lead character Don Draper an advertising genius who's life was anything but what he portrayed it to be. In fact a lot of what the last season of Mad Men explored was the unravelling of Don and everything he built up around him.
